Basic Nitrogen Safety

BASIC NITROGEN SAFETY
Nitrogen is beneficial in such applications as well stimulation because:
It reduces the amount of liquids on the formation.

It reduces the hydrostatic head of fluid columns.
It increases viscosity to fluids.
All of the above.
Right.
At which temperature does carbon steel become brittle?
-40 degrees F
-45 degrees F
-32 degrees F
0 degrees F
Incorrect. The correct answer is -40 degrees F.

Copper or Brass
Stainless Steel
Aluminum
Most Plastics
Correct.
What is the boiling temperature of Liquid Nitrogen?
-230 degrees F
-297 degrees F
-109 degrees F
-320 degrees F
Correct.
Nitrogen is transported to the wellsite in liquid form because:
You obtain a higher quality of nitrogen when used in

liquid form.
Liquid Nitrogen mixes better with other fluids used in the
oilfield.
Most nitrogen applications require that it be used in
liquid form.
It's easier to transport in a liquid state rather than a
gaseous state.
Correct.
What amount of liquid nitrogen is needed before it causes permanent damage to your
eye?
10 drops
1 drop
5 drops
1 ounce
Correct.
What percent of nitrogen makes up the air we breathe?
21 percent
78 percent
43 percent
58 percent
Correct.
Nitrogen is said to be "inert." What does this term mean?
That nitrogen can be easlily identified by its odor.

That nitrogen combines with other substances easily.
That nitrogen does not chemically react with other
substances.
That nitrogen is extremely flammable.
Correct.
One benefit of liquid nitrogen in treating fluids is that it is:
Corrosive to formations but not to pipe.

Corrosive to pipe but not to formations.
Non-corrosive to pipe but super-corrosive to formations.
Non-corrosive to tubulars.
Incorrect. The correct answer is Non-corrosive to tubulars.
Of all of the Personal Protective items required to be worn while working around or with
liquid nitrogen, which is NOT one of these?
Hard Hat
Safety Boots
Pocket Thermometer
Safety Glasses
Correct.
Of the following, which is NOT a symptom of oxygen deficiency?
poor coordination
increased eye pressure
shortness of breath
increased pulse rate
Correct.
Which component on a nitrogen unit converts the liquid back to its gaseous state?
The discharge valve.

The pressure building coil.
The vaporizer.
The high pressure pump.
Correct.
Breathed internally, how much would be necessary before nitrogen gas causes you to
blackout?
2 breaths
1 breath
0 breaths
5 breaths
Correct.
What's the difference between an MPU 660 and a TPU 660 converter unit?
MPU is a mono-plex unit and the TPU is a Tri-plex unit.

MPU is a Motorized unit and the TPU is a Tiered unit
MPU is a Mounted unit and the TPU is a Tandem unit.
MPU is a Mobile unit and the TPU is a Trailer unit.
Correct.
Of the choices listed below, which applications involve the use of nitrogen?
Fracturing
Cementing
Acidizing
All of the above
Incorrect. The correct answer is All of the above.
Nitrogen is pumped into a well as a:
Psuedo liquid
Semi-cold liquid
+100 degree gas
+200 degree gas
Incorrect. The correct answer is +100 degree gas.
What are the first signs of frostbite?
Skin turns a white or grayish yellow in color.

Numbness
Skin begins to peel and crack.
Skin turns a red or pinkish color.
Correct.
When treating iron becomes frosted, it is:
Too cold to move or hammer.

At exactly 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Proof that nitrogen is being delivered properly.
Normal with pumping nitrogen jobs.
Incorrect. The correct answer is Too cold to move or hammer
Of the following, which is considered a cryogenic material?
Carbon steel
Truck tires
HWE (High Wiping Efficiency) cementing plugs
Stainless Steel (300 series)
Correct.
Nitrogen gas, while colorless, has the smell of:
rotten eggs
it has no odor
it takes on the odor of any substance close to it
burnt almonds
Correct.
When confronted with a frostbite situation, the FIRST thing you should do is:
Let blood circulation re-establish itself naturally.

Bring the victim indoors immediately.
Immediately flood or submerge the affected are with
lukewarm water.
Encourage the victim to exercise the affected area.
Correct.
Potentially dangerous areas or situations involving nitrogen include:
Defective piping under pressure.
Cold equipment surfaces.
Leaking liquid from loose connections or defective seals.
All of the Above
Yes! Correct.
Before pumping a Frac Treatment, N2 treating iron should be pressure tested:
Before testing the fluid portion of the frac Spread.

Only after testing the Wellhead Isolation Tool (WHIT).
Only after successfully testing the fluid portion of the frac
spread.
N2 iron only needs testing at the local service center.
Incorrect. The correct answer is Only after successfully testing
the fluid portion of the frac spread.
